Bearberry Cotoneaster, Cotoneaster humifusa, Cotoneaster humifusus
Cotoneaster dammeri (Bearberry Cotoneaster) is a vigorous, dense, evergreen shrub with trailing stems studded with small, leathery, glossy, rounded, dark green leaves. The foliage turns reddish-bronze or purplish in winter before becoming green again in spring. Small, 5-petaled, white flowers adorned with purple anthers are produced in late spring to early summer. They are followed by brilliant berries, which ripen to bright red in the fall and persist through winter unless devoured by hungry birds or animals. Easy to grow, Bearberry Cotoneaster makes a very attractive ground cover and looks lovely when draped over the edge of walls or large rocks.
